10 FUNCTIONAL TESTS

10 FUNCTIONAL TESTS 10.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to demonstrate the procedures necessary to perform a complete functional test
of all the SPM hardware while also testing firmware/hardware interaction in the process. Since the SPM is
packaged in a drawout case, a demo case (metal carry case in which an SPM may be mounted) may be useful
for creating a portable test set with a wiring harness for all of the I/O. Testing of the relay during commissioning
using a primary injection test set will ensure that CTs and wiring are correct and complete.
Cycle power to SPM to clear lockout times that may occur during testing.
After testing is complete it is a good idea to zero all statistics.
NOTE
The following equipment is recommended to test the SPM's functionality and calibration.
1. 3 phase variable ac test set (voltage and current)
2. 0 to 15 V DC voltage source (needed to test Exciter/Field volts or current inputs)
3. Function generator (needed to test collector ring field application)
4. Timer
5. Multimeters
6. Switch
